Infantile Spasms
Special Interest Group (SIG)
The Infantile Spasms SIG is a national group of clinicians and scientists whose mission is to facilitate collaboration on projects to improve our understanding and care of children with Infantile Spasms. There are multiple ongoing projects currently underway. These projects include IS biomarker discovery and validation, time to treat IS, ISITT2, IS corpus callosotomy, disparities in treatment of IS, machine learning, and variability in 2nd line treatment of spasms.
Infantile Spasms SIG Leader: Adam Numis, M.D., University of California San Francisco and Emily M. Spelbrink, MD, PhD
